Job description

Business Development Manager

Salary: Up to £65,000 + competitive package

We’re looking for a driven and commercially minded Business Development Manager to play a key role in strengthening existing relationships and securing new business opportunities across the construction sector.

This is a high-impact role for someone who understands how construction businesses win work — whether through frameworks, negotiated contracts, repeat clients or strategic partnerships — and knows how to turn relationships into long-term value.

The Role

• Develop and deliver a business development strategy aligned with company growth objectives
• Build, manage and grow strong relationships with existing clients and key stakeholders
• Identify, pursue and secure new business opportunities across targeted sectors
• Work closely with operational and pre-construction teams to convert opportunities into secured projects
• Represent the business at networking events, industry forums and client meetings
• Maintain a strong pipeline of opportunities and provide accurate forecasts and reporting

About You

• Proven experience in a business development or client-facing role
• Background in construction, property, engineering or the built environment (highly desirable)
• Strong understanding of procurement routes, frameworks and the construction sales cycle
• Confident communicator with the ability to influence at all levels
• Commercially astute, self-motivated and results driven
• Comfortable working autonomously while collaborating with wider teams

What’s on Offer

• Salary up to £65,000, depending on experience
• Attractive benefits package
• Opportunity to play a pivotal role in a growing, well-established business
• Long-term career development and progression

If you thrive on building relationships, spotting opportunities and helping shape the growth of a construction-led business, this role offers both challenge and reward in equal measure.
